    Gyokeres is a really ugly player to watch, isnt he?

    Looks so so far out of his depth.

      I'm still seeing the guy I saw on the YouTube clips.

      He's going to need to improve a fair bit to be a success here.

        I don't mind that, so long as we win and he scores lots of goals
        "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

        "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

          Agree. Even a moderate improvement isn?t going to help him.

            Reminds me of Emile Heskey .. a big, ugly, ungainly oaf with hooves instead of feet.

              Sometimes we need a battering ram. Remember the postman in the cup semi and final? The guy in the Grauniad said he gives us something we don't have and a bit of rough is what we need. We just need Kai back so we have options.

                Hes not that either. I have commented previously about how weak he is on the ball. And ive never seen a man of his size lose virtually all of his headers.

                Sesko looks significantly better in a worse team. And is 7 years younger.

                  Calafiori was superb, especially 1st half.

                    He has played pretty well all season.

                    MLS is just a bit more inventive. Creates angles takes more risks. Feels more dangerous in that type of game.

                      Did you actually watch the match? (genuine question as wasn't on the telly)I found a great dodgy stream and Calafiori was the best player on the pitch in the 1st half. Strong runs, controlled the game and unlucky not to score. He was more of a midfielder than a full back.

                        I watched it, although I must admit I wasn't wholly paying attention.

                          He was Redondo-like. Everywhere.

                            Where did you get your stream? Mine was sheet.

                            Is there a site you're using? PM me if you have to. I've got to work out how to get one of these dodgy sticks.

                              Yes. It was almost like MA had heard tales of Italian defenders playing as liberos and, not really sure what it meant, told Ricky do to wtf he liked and drilled the rest of the team to use the formations they have when playing with ten.

                              It's one thing to have an overlapping FB, or one inverting into DM on his side, but we had a LB regularly popping up in the inside right channel. He was so unlucky not to score just before HT.
